Woodworking opportunity

Sally Urbano a Historical Commission colleague of mine from West Harwich has the following opportunity:

Greetings to everyone.

I am on the hunt for a resource to replace an antique post and board fence. The posts are turned and the top is a large ,rounded top similar to Dairy Queen cones, not acorns. Recently vandals destroyed a fence such as this.

The original was made of locust which was prevalent on the Cape at one time. The posts are the problem as apparently they must be hand turned and mahogany is suggested as wood of choice. The bid is without installation and painting and amounts to $15,000 for 12 posts and two rails. extravagant ?
